☆ Over 1,500 firearms were intercepted at US airports from January to March – and the vast majority were loaded

CNN —The Transportation Security Administration reports that its officers intercepted 1,503 firearms in carry-on bags at security checkpoints in US airports during the first quarter of 2024. That number runs very close with TSA interceptions in the first quarter of 2023, in which 1,508 firearms were intercepted, the agency said in a news release. Overall, 2023 set a record for the number of firearms uncovered by officers at security checkpoints. More people plus roughly same number of firearms equals a lower rate. But there’s a shocking stat that has stayed the same – in both time periods, 93% of those intercepted firearms were loaded with ammo.

And American Airlines said it canceled fewer flights than any other Thanksgiving period in its history. Before the Thanksgiving period started, TSA Administrator David Pekoske said: "In 2023, we have already seen seven of the top 10 busiest travel days in TSA's history." The TSA's other three busiest travel days were all in 2019. And while last year's Thanksgiving travel numbers still lagged behind pre-pandemic levels, it now looks like the industry has officially recovered. Airlines saw new highs for Thanksgiving travel as well.

The late crush of holiday travelers is picking up steam, with about 2.7 million people expected to board flights on Wednesday and millions more planning to drive to Thanksgiving celebrations. The Transportation Security Administration predicts that it will screen 2.7 million passengers Wednesday and a record 2.9 million on Sunday, the biggest day for return trips. AAA says the nationwide average for gas was down to $3.29 a gallon on Tuesday, compared with $3.66 a year ago. Air travelers will enjoy lower prices too. Even so, the high cost of rent, food, health care and other expenses were weighing on people's travel plans.

☆ Airlines brace for record Thanksgiving air travel
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Airlines expect record travel demand this Thanksgiving. The Sunday after Thanksgiving is expected to be the busiest day during that period with an estimated 2.9 million passengers taking to the skies. And Thanksgiving will be a test to see how the aviation industry handles the year-end holidays while still managing strains like a prolonged shortage of air traffic controllers. Weather readiness is particularly key for Southwest Airlines , which canceled 16,700 flights late last year and in early 2024 following severe winter weather, while other airlines recovered more quickly. Those extra two minutes "just helps that flight and the next flight and the next flight," she said.

  + stars: | 2023-02-20 | by ( Lauren Johnson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The TSA caught 6,542 guns in carry-on bags last year. Six airports in Texas and Florida contributed to the top 10 airports with firearm incidents. The TSA attributed the uptick in caught guns from increases in Americans owning and traveling with guns. Eighty-eight percent of the guns caught last year were loaded, according to a graphic released by the TSA. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport: 196 firearmsTwo states contributed to six of the top 10 airports with firearm incidents last year.
☆ Inflation has airline ticket prices skyrocketing, but the TSA just slashed the price of its PreCheck program, which lets flyers cut the airport security line
  + stars: | 2022-11-07 | by ( Samantha Delouya | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The service lets members skip long airport security lines for 5 years. The move is a rare example of a price cut in 2022. The service allows qualifying travelers to skip busy security screening lines at the airport for the next 5 years. "For individuals and families with plans to fly this holiday season, now is the time to enroll or renew in TSA PreCheck," TSA Administrator David Pekoske said in a statement announcing PreCheck's price cut. Not everyone qualifies to cut security lines, though.
